are you running gpm? if so, you might try setting your mouse to /dev/gpmdata
Or try stopping gpm before starting X.
here's my XF86-Config-4 (I assume you're running X4?)(just the mouse
section)
Note that Emulate3Buttons is commented out, as well as ZAxisMapping
and I don't have gpm installed.

several xircom's, netgearfa410x, several different 3com's... I think you
just need to add pcmcia support before you configure the network (and I
think that I do it before I config device drivers)
*This* was the key :) I hadn't noticed the alternative choices there to do
this, and I'm sorry I didn't. Once I did that, and changed from a PCMPC200
V2 to an EC2T Linksys card, things went perfectly. I am tempted to wipe it
out now that I have it loaded, and just load the bits and pieces I need
instead of getting greedy and loading everything :)
The amazing thing is that X even works, almost. My current problem is that
my mouse doesn't move at all under X. Any advice on that? Here are the
particulars:
Laptop is Thinkpad 770X (9549-7AU)
XF86Config lists Mouse Protocol as PS/2 and device as /dev/psaux
Debian release is 2.2r3
/dev/psaux is root, root, mode is 660
I tried starting X as me and as root.
I get no error messages or anything, but the mouse doesn't work. I checked
on how I had the mouse configured on my previous RH 6.1 install, and
everything looks exactly the same.
